What's my purpose in this world?

A question that I’ve always asked myself. I have always been an average Joe. Always happy, jolly and joyful. People always see me as somebody who doesn’t know what pessimism is. A person who always sees the brighter side of life no matter what the circumstances are. I guess I will always be that type of a person. A person who loves the excitement and adventures life has to offer.

I have done so many things in my life. Experienced the GOOD and the BAD. And it was GREAT!!! Not that I’m promoting to do bad stuff, but the fact is that I’ve learned a lot from all these experiences. You know how it is to be with friends when you’re young. I did all the crazy things teenage life had to offer. But not to the extent of being a criminal, except MOVING ( ask any of my friends to know what the word MOVING is ). I finished schooling but not with flying colors. Actually flunked a lot of subjects but I did my best to finish on time. In short, I had lived the bachelor’s life.

I have always wanted to see the world. I loved traveling. In fact traveling was the only reason I took my first job. Not the paycheck. I was always fascinated with the different cultures and traditions of different places. I always get excited when I get to learn new languages and dialects and new things. And with these experiences I wanted more. I now have grown into the type of person who thirsts for new knowledge, new challenges and new adventures. I WANT TO SEE THE WORLD.

But what has life has to offer to an average JOE? When living in these economically-challenged times just sometimes seems so unbearable. You are always pushed to the wall that you have to fight back just for survival. I’ve seen how life can really pin down somebody to their knees. I’ve seen it from my family, my relatives and most especially from my friends. Life can be so cruel to a lot of people that being broke is already a normal lifestyle nowadays. If you’re not broke, you’re not in. And not just being broke on financial terms. Majority of people nowadays don’t even have enough time for themselves and their families. And that’s already normal to a lot of people, being average. Forget about ambitions and dreams. Forget about the luxuries of life. Forget LIFE.

But the thing is, I never wanted to be an average. I never wanted to be what the majority is. I never wanted an ordinary life, an ordinary job, and getting ordinary things for myself. I’ve always wanted to live life to the fullest. I wanted FREEDOM. To do whatever I want at anytime I want to do it. I want both the MONEY and the TIME to enjoy life. To have all the money I need and the best times of my life to enjoy with my loved ones. Selfish as it may seem for most people. But I think that’s fair enough for me. I just can’t allow myself to live ordinarily. I don’t plan to LIVE FOREVER, but if I am going to LEAVE this life someday, I’m going to LEAVE WITH A BLAST. And when I’m gone, people will remember me for the good that I have done to others and the contributions I made to society so that people may live better lives.

And now I’m in a battle for my freedom. To break thru the barriers of the norms of society. I will get my FREEDOM no matter what it takes.
